Definitions

  • One or more embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an organic light-emitting device and a method of manufacturing the same.
  • Organic light-emitting devices are self-emission devices that produce full-color images, and also have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, short response times, and excellent characteristics in terms of brightness, driving voltage, and response speed, as compared to other devices in the art.
  • organic light-emitting devices may include a first electrode disposed on a substrate, and a hole transport region, an emission layer, an electron transport region, and a second electrode, which are sequentially disposed on the first electrode. Holes provided from the first electrode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the second electrode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. Carriers, such as holes and electrons, recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons transit (e.g., transition or relax) from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.

Description

    CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
  • This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0047326, filed on Apr. 24, 2018, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • BACKGROUND 1. Field
  • One or more embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an organic light-emitting device and a method of manufacturing the same.
  • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • Organic light-emitting devices are self-emission devices that produce full-color images, and also have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, short response times, and excellent characteristics in terms of brightness, driving voltage, and response speed, as compared to other devices in the art.
  • An example of such organic light-emitting devices may include a first electrode disposed on a substrate, and a hole transport region, an emission layer, an electron transport region, and a second electrode, which are sequentially disposed on the first electrode. Holes provided from the first electrode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the second electrode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. Carriers, such as holes and electrons, recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons transit (e.g., transition or relax) from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.

  • Examples 1-1 to 1-11 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-3: Evaluation of Solvent Resistance of Hole Transport Region
  • Compositions shown in Table 2 were spin-coated on a 50 mm×50 mm glass substrate to a thickness of 100 nm and baked at a temperature of 240° C. for 10 minutes to form samples in which a hole transport region was formed. A total of ten samples were prepared, and an absorbance of a maximum absorption wavelength (UV abs. λmax) was measured by a UV absorption spectrum at the center of a hole transport region membrane and set as an initial absorbance.
  • Then, 50 mg of a solvent was added dropwise to the center of the hole transport region membrane by using a syringe and left for 20 minutes in a condition that the solvent did not move or flow in a hood. The solvent was removed therefrom for 10 seconds by using a PET superfine wiper made of a fiber material having a diameter of 20 μm or less. Then, the sample was baked at a temperature of 140° C. for 15 minutes, and an absorbance of a maximum absorption wavelength (UV abs. λmax) was measured by a UV absorption spectrum and set as an absorbance after the solvent processing.
  • When the initial absorbance was 100, the absorbance after the relative solvent processing was calculated and defined as solvent resistance (%), and the value thereof was calculated and is shown in Table 2.

Also, the term “exemplary” is intended to refer to an example or illustration.
  • Also, any numerical range recited herein is intended to include all sub-ranges of the same numerical precision subsumed within the recited range.
